In my last week of being 37…
31 Aug
>> I’ve stopped the nailbiting again. (Again. Again. Again.) It’s been two weeks this time, and if I get to a month, I’m going to treat myself to my very first manicure. I’m doing what I’ve done in the past but this time I’m going to keep them very short – just to the fingertips. Which is not long at all, but about twice as long as usual. Tonight I painted them a sparkly blue color.
>> I’ve started exercising. Just 20 minutes at a time. I have a few DVDs to choose from. I am sore.
>> I haven’t called an endocrinologist yet. Because I’m a scared little dork. I’ll get over it.
>> I’m enjoying Mountain Dew Throwback — in moderation. It really does taste better with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Real sugar brings out the true flavor of the brominated vegetable oil and makes the Yellow No 5 sparkle!
>> Our surviving cat, Charlie, has seemed to absorb parts of Misty’s personality, notably the silent meow. It’s unnerving and comforting at the same time.
